CASA asks Scott County Council to cover $3,393 state-match shortfall to keep grant eligibility
Summary
A CASA representative told the Scott County Council that the group's state match requirement is $18,393 but the county appropriated only $15,000; councilmembers signaled support and agreed to prepare advertising and signoff for a February additional appropriation.
A representative for CASA told the Scott County Council on Jan. 13 that a state matching and capacity-building grant requires a county match of $18,393 this year, but the county had appropriated only $15,000.
"If we do not receive the match portion from the county, then we only receive whatever amount is matched by the county from the state as well," the CASA speaker said, warning that an insufficient county match could eliminate the organization from a third round of additional state funding. The speaker asked the council to supply the $3,393 shortfall to preserve the full grant award.
Council members said they supported finding the money and discussed the procedural steps required to make the payment official. Staff members said the appropriation must be properly advertised through the Gateway process and signed by the appropriate officers (the judge and the county auditor) before funds can be released. One council member suggested the item be placed on the February agenda after required advertising.
The request was recorded on the meeting record so staff could prepare the advertisement and any required additional-appropriation paperwork. Council members said they would check with the judge and the auditor and would bring the item back for formal action in February.
